End of Freshmen's First Sem

My first semester was enough to give me clues and hints on what should I expect in our second semester. I had surpass brain-tearing exams, eye-crossing assignments and supernatural professors. But the thing to cherish the most? I found friends. Set of persons who has opposing personalities but still, we clicked together.

Another written Talumpati (Prostitusyon)

PROSTITUSYON

Tunay na laganap na nag kahirapan sa ating bansa. Karahasan, pangmomolestya, nakawan, bunga ng kahirapan hanggang sa umabot na sa pagbebenta ng laman.

Sa kalaliman ng gabi, mababanaagan ang mga kababaihan na nakasanayan na nating tawaging mga “kalapating mababa ang lipad”. Maaaring nasa wastong edad ngunit kadalasang menor de edad ang nagpapakasasa sa kanlungan ng kanilang mga kliyente.

Prostitusyon. Ano nga ba ang prostitusyon?

Ang prostitusyon ang pagpapabili ng panandaliang aliw. Ito ay itinuturing na isang matandang hanapbuhay, sa bansang Pilipinas at iba pang kanluraning bansa. Ito ang madaling paraan ng pagkita ng pera kapalit ng kandungan at katawan sa mga hayok at gutom sa laman na mga parukyano. Sandaling bayad na ligaya para sa mga kostumer na walang takot sa Poong Lumikha. Ligaya na kapalit ay pera ngunit nagdudulot naman ng pagkawasak ng dangal at moralidad sa nagbenta.

Bakit nangyayari ito?

Kahirapan ang itinuturing na dahilan kung bakit lumalaganap ang prostitusyon.

Sa ating bansang Pilipinas, sa panahon natin ngayon, ang pagiging mahirap ay hindi lamang ang kawalan lang ng pagkaing mailalaman sa tiyan, ng lupang puwedeng tirikan ng kahit kubo man lang, hanapbuhay na disente, o makapag-aral ang mga bata.

Alam ba ninyo? Na ang tinatawagan na kahirapan sa ngayon ay nakatuon din sa kasalatan sa mga materyal na bagay na puwedeng magpasaya sa tao, mga Bisyo kagaya ng drugs, communication gadgets tulad ng cellphone, gimmick at iba pang karangyaan sa buhay ng tao. Ang pagkagahaman, o ang paghahangad na magkaroon ng kung ano ang mayroon ang iba sa mabilisang paraan.

Sa mga bansa sa Asya, noon ay itinuturing na ang sentro ng prostitusyon ay ang Thailand.

Ang Pilipinas ngayon ay isa sa pugad ng Prostitusyon sa mundo.

Ano ang nagtutulak sa mga disenteng babae na makipag-jamming sa mga lalaking may pera na hayok sa laman, sabagay ang ganito ay madalas nangyayara sa mga private room ng mga sing-along bar? Hindi po ba?

Ayon sa mga nababasa natin, sa mga internet, may mga estudyanteng babae na binibigyan naman daw ng allowance ng kanilang mga magulang, ngunit bakit pinasok pa ang pagsa-sideline sa cybersex? Isa pang bersyon ng prostitusyon sa makabagong paraan gamit ang teknolohiya tulad ng computer.

Ang punto, paano nga ba natin ito malalabanan?

Sa kasalakuyan, masasabing wala na rin tayong naiisip pang paraan upang malabanan ang pagbebenta ng laman. Sa puntong ito, makabubuti na lamang nating gawin ay ipagpatuloy ang buhay at iwaksi ang pangmamata sa mga taong may ganitong trabaho. Dahil ika nga, may pera sa basura. Sa ibang paraan nga lamang tulad nito, sa prostitusyon sila nagkakapera. Sa trabahong imoral sa paningin ng iba ngunit trabahong syang bumubuhay naman sa iba.

SUPERNATURAL PROFESSORS

Do you realize that plenty of professors don't realize that they come off as terrorists? They aren't like your high school teachers anymore. How do you survive a terror and weird professors in your studies?

You assume that every time you see a professor or instructor standing in front of your class, that person is highly educated, qualified and competent to be there.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

I’m proudly introducing myself as a part of the class H-125. In the past three months that we have spent in the four corner room 326, I can strongly say that our class consists of stupendous students who are very much talkative, DOTA addicts, music lovers, dancers, energetic, exciting and out of the box but very brilliant students.

But when the clock’s hand touches the 8:30, things change. It seems like the clear sky became dark with lightnings and thunders in just a second. A hand touches the doorknob and slowly pull it and then BOOOM! A professor came out from nowhere. Seems like a pastor walk in the room. Oh yes folks, its ENGLISH TIME! Donne Robert’s favorite subject.

Let’s start the discussion with the golden question, what is Grammar? Then Vocabulary and Communication? Followed by what is Success? Oh men, in the past three months that we are discussing these words, still, we can’t perfect the so called “exam” of that human being. I always hear the word “bitch” from my blockmates that describes what we feel when she comes, as well as the expression “mehgawd” pleasing somebody to close the door so she can’t enter the room. A sentence I recall from her, “you like English huh, You like it?.” And the whole class raised their hands saying that they all like English class. LOL. Knowing that a while ago, before the subject comes, we all want to leave and cut class especially Combalicer. The capricious, priceless and cutest student of our class and also the apple of the eye of every professors. One thing, when professor read the surname Ogawa, she always ask if Yuki is a Japanese. Asking again and again and again and again and again ….. WTF ?

There are times that even you push, work hard and put a lot of efforts in teaching, still its not enough. Like our 7:00 class. A weird human being enters the room and always start the class with a prayer. A god-centered person who says that God HAS A NAME! Oh well, she said it! What a headache. One of the reasons why our boys like Pacheco, do the dirty finger while our JPL prof is writing on the whiteboard. She even spells world peace as “world piece”. I’m not good in spelling but what the hell is that?

The possession of being a PROFESSOR is equivalent to GODLIKE status. It is not always the case. Basically, we wish to have an eject button to push when we want to eject the professor. Or even we wish to have a Kelen’s Dagger so that we can go out the room in 1200 range when we feel like we are almost to puke in a subject.

But in reality, no matter how the professor tore and grind our brain into chips with their teaching styles and techniques, still, they are the one who hold our grades or should I say the one who hold our “futures”. Even we want to vomit their subjects ,still, we will swallow our vomits just to have good grades. Because in real world, Professors are like Passengers, like a customer who are always right.
